GUM® Micro Tip® Toothbrush

The GUM® Micro Tip® toothbrush was developed in collaboration with dental professionals to create a complete brushing experience.

First, the bristles have two distinctly different features using the latest manufacturing technologies:

"Micro-feathering” splits each bristle filament into two-to-seven very fine endings that create up to 70% more contact area that enables soft and very gentle cleaning over a broader area.

Regular-shaped tapered bristles are narrow at the tip to reach deeper below the gumline and in the hard-to-reach spaces between the teeth, and have a textured surface to disrupt dental plaque and increase cleaning power.

Second, the head of the brush combines a Dome Trim® design with an interdental-cut bristle trim for the inside rows to create a unique configuration that:

specifically enables the bristles to reach under the gumline at the 45-degree angle recommended and used by most dental professionals, and

aligns with the overall tooth contours enabling the longer bristles to reach into the interdental spaces while shorter bristles clean the curvature of each tooth.

GUM® PROXABRUSH® GO-Betweens®

— Flexible handle for better comfort and control when cleaning hard-to-reach places

— Triangular shaped bristles remove up to 25% more plaque*

— Antibacterial bristles keep brush clean between uses**

Easy to Use:

1. Use gentle in and out motions to remove plaque and food particles.

Never force brush into tight spaces

Do not bend or twist wire during use.

2. Rinse brush after each use Replace weekly.

3. Consult your dental professional before using around implants or areas with excessive fillings.

* Compared to conventional nylon filament. Data on file (DOF-0001)

** Bristles incorporate an antibacterial agent for continuous bristle protection. Bacterial growth may affect the bristles is inhibited. The agent in the bristles does not protect against disease.

Brush twice daily with GUM® Micro Tip toothbrush for deep and effective plaque removal between the teeth and beneath the gumline.

horrible handlePLEASE BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS HANDLE ON THESE GREAT BRUSHES! Our dentist introduced my family to this model of toothbrush. We use the compact head/soft bristles. We buy a bunch at a time because we love them. However, between our last purchase and our most recent one, the handle was redesigned. It is rounder and thicker, and it turns in your hand and makes it VERY DIFFICULT to hold it steady while brushing and almost impossible to angle the bristles accurately without holding it ridiculously tightly. Plus, the increased thickness makes it not fit into our toothbrush holders anymore!!! Please bring back the previous handle!

best toothbrushI first got one of these from my dentist. It was the most comfortable toothbrush I'd ever used. When we moved my new dentist didn't have these, so I've been ordering them directly from GUM ever since. The drugstores will have a l limited selection of GUM toothbrushes, if any at all. I get exactly the toothbrush I want by ordering direct. I like the compact size in either soft or sensitive. The sensitive ones don't last as long but they are great for when I have a sensitive tooth act up. I get a bunch of these at a time and never have to worry about having to use a drugstore toothbrush.

best toothbrushesI first tried a GUM toothbrush as a sample from our dentist and these toothbrushes are a huge reason periodontal disease is now completely gone from my mouth. Over years of careful brushing with these soft, micro tip brushes, my gums went from bleeding and painful to pink and healthy. Getting my teeth cleaned is no longer an ordeal. I recommend the soft version of this micro tip toothbrush to anyone who wants to improve their dental health. It IS possible to be healed of periodontal disease--get your teeth cleaned regularly and do what your hygienist says to do at home.

#516 brush is much betterGreat company, but they missed on this brush. It's the handle, as mentioned in other reviews. I can't keep the bristles pointed where I need them to brush. Handle not the right shape, too slippery. The 516 has a great, ergonomic, ambidextrous handle. The bristles and head shape on this one are otherwise very good. The bristles on the 516 are about the same but the pattern of bristles on the 516 is a bit more domed. But otherwise the heads are equivalent. I ordered the full head size with ultra soft bristles which was equivalent to the "sensitive" firmness on the 470.

Love these brushes!Purchased one of these in South Africa about 18 months ago and liked it so much I've been looking everywhere for them. Unfortunately it appears they are not available anywhere in Texas. Have tried other brushes(Oral B, etc) and could just not get comfortable using them. Kept going back to using the Gum, probably for way too long! Finally decided to see if I could find them online and boy am I glad I did. Just ordered 5, just in case I cannot get them again.

Best Manual Toothbrush Ever!!!!!!!As a practicing dental hygienist it has always been important to suggest to my patients that they use an extra soft bristle toothbrush. After searching for many years and finding this toothbrush I feel like my patients are now better able to clean their teeth with out having to worry about whether the bristle are soft enough. This toothbrush is perfect in every aspect. Please keep this one around for a long, long time. I love it and so do my patients.

Handle redesign is uncomfortableThis was a 5-star toothbrush until the handle was redesigned. My hand hurts after using it. I'd venture to say it's because, previously, the cross-section of the handle was symmetrical, making it easier to hold in different positions. The new oblong cross-section seems to want to "lock in" to fewer positions in the hand. Hopefully this "improvement" helps some people, but I have to agree with the other reviews who can't use this handle without discomfort.

design failureGUM's recent redesign of its entire line is basically a fail. When the handle is round, you cannot grip the toothbrush properly when it becomes wet. The second fail...the elimination of the raised, rubberized spot halfway up the back of the toothbrush in favor of one with a design. This means the rubber spot can no longer be used for control. This was a waste of money and I am not looking for someone who makes a toothbrush that puts function over form.
